cmd.exe boxes flashing around screen on startup

It just says C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe, no message just that line that I guess just says it's running. Multiple prompt boxes open and close across the screen, then one stays put for a few seconds and closes. I've already done a lot with my virus/spyware stuff, spybot s&d, online scans, lspfix etc. Here the latest hijackthis log. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I have been using hijackthis.de to guide me and already did some stuff with its help. I hadn't fixed these yet because it says it's ok if you recognize what it is. Think I should fix them anyway?

Here's the latest log. Does anyone see anything else? Apparently there was a backdoor trojan that ewido found since my first log was posted. I wonder if there's anything else that hijackthis.de isn't flagging or isn't even showing up on the log at all.

1. Update all your scanners
2. Reboot into safe mode and run them again
3. Turn off system restore

Incidentally, LSfix is not an antivirus tool, it is intended to repair corrupted LSP stacks in Winsock2. This would show as a failure to connect to the internet..................properly written malware actually wants you to connect to the internet so that it can own you or steal from you

It went away when I could not access the Internet. My trouble shooting revealed invalid IP address and invalid network. The Uverse repair came out to the house and reset the system. The poroblem was fixed as I was able to get on the Internet. And as an added bonus, the cmd screen upon computer start-up did not come back.

My opinion, and its only an opinion, has to do with the network I was accessing in the past, it was called network2. After the repair, I noticed I now accessed network 3 to get on the Internet. No more cmd screen when I fired up the computer.
